Edit: I actually really appreciate your critique guys(major thanks), but if you want to leave some please note it to me out of consideration for my customer. Thanks!
Finished Commission for
Argent-Fatalis of his sentient smilodon character Argent.
A very fun subject, as I am a big fan of prehistoric creatures. Despite Argent being a very large Smilodon Fatalis species, it was fun to try to piece together a reconstruction of this extinct species.
This painting was fun to work on! It gave me a chance to practice my digital painting, lighting and landscapes.
Endless thanks to Balaa for her wonderful advice! :) It was insanely helpful. Now if I could only procure an industry standard screen of awesomeness, it would make the task of digital painting slightly easier X3
Hope you like it argent!
Thanks for looking everyone.

This is amazing, it's so inspiring to see how you improve your work every single time you upload.
The lighting and textures are gorgeous!
Yes! I'll be working on thumbnails of your commission within the next week. Stay tuned!
Thank you again for commissioning me. It was one of my favorite subjects to render :)
Maybe to publish more in Prehistoric Times, and to try to have commissions for ancient wildlife for books!
I did intend on making more for prehistoric times, but since its probono art I rarely have time to squeeze it into my already tight schedule. But prehistoric animal reconstruction is something that REALLY interests me. :)
omg it looks like someone just took a real life picture!
I love the paws
